1986

140 Kenilworth Avenue Kenilworth, IL 60043

After returning from her honeymoon in Sardinia, Liz Mueser was lugged across the threshold of her new apartment. Just one floor below, her former roommates LanieBurchie and Carol Croft were redecorating their apartment following the departure of their longtime friend. Liz's move up one flight of stairs was among the easiest conceivable: no need for a U-haul truck, no need to change address, and no need to befriend a new doorman. The move was so local that Liz and her husband, Jeff Spurr, Tuck '86, can even look into the window of Liz's old bachelorette pad. The whole situation smacks of a sitcom series. (Perhaps this will interest Andrew Getraer, whose career at NBC is going up as long as the strike continues.) Lanie is trying to squeeze enough hours away from First Boston to write her business school applications, Carol is with Salomon Brothers, and Liz sells MTV to cable stations.

Sarah Geithner is still trying to figure out what to do with her bridesmaid's dress from Liz's wedding. Currently she intends to make it her annual Halloween costume. Unfortunately she doesn't feel comfortable wearing the dress to her job on Capitol Hill where she works for a congressman, helping him assess airport safety and space-station feasibility. Sarah will soon leave the action in D.C. and will either enroll in a public administration master's program or will move to China and join the U.S. government in exporting democracy to the Orient.

Debbie Kohl and Melinda Gould recently pedaled through the streets of N.Y. to raise money for multiple sclerosis. Each wore Dartmouth T-shirts to cut wind resistance. On their list of sponsors was BethCostman, who pledged a portion of her paycheck from her job with an advertising firm. Recently she has been dreaming up new jingles for Pringles potato chips. Melmda rates hospital bonds for Moody's. Debbie is a consultant with Arthur Anderson; soon she will transfer to the firm's D.C. office in order to be near her fiance, Eric Grubman '84. (No wedding has been set, but you may want to read Eric's column nearby.)

Marion Stouffer will help set the fashion trend in men's ties. She is the assistant buyer for men's ties at Macy's. According to Marion paisley is out, bright polyester is in. With friends like Marion it is no surprise that Kirk LeCompte is the flashiest dresser around. Kirk has been sharing his fashion tips with the folks in Jimmy Hoffa's old union, where he has been installing a financial software system. Kirk is a project manager with Databases Unlimited, a NYC software company.

Claire Rehnberg has yet to be surveyed by Crest, but soon she will be certified to chisel away at decaying teeth. She is a second-year student at the Tufts school of dentistry, where she is currently "making teeth," whatever that means. Kara van Breman, Claire's roommate, has picked up exemplary dental hygiene habits in her several months living with a tooth fanatic. Claire's favorite tooth-care technique involves polishing each molar and incisor with a fragment of a silk dress. Try this and your teeth will feel smooth as a marble.

Tamar Buchsbaum and Gregg Checani are focusing on other parts of the body at Duke Medical School. Although only in their second year at school, both are already seeing patients. Tamar may be able to fix ailing bodies, but not ailing cars. On a recent trip north her car broke down in New Jersey, not far from her home. Tamar made the most of an unpleasant situation. She changed into her swimsuit in the car and tanned on the roof until her father arrived.

Rob Carey is studying truth, justice, and the American way at U.Va. Law School.
